Vanilla Beans
Excellent Product! Excellent Service!
I'm a convert
I've been making my own vanilla extract for over a decade and used to buy my beans based on reviews at a Infamous Global seller. Was never sure what I would get. Then I found this company! The beans were beautiful! Fragrant, moist but not too moist, easy to cut open to expose the seeds and each Bean was six to seven inches long. I'm a happy extract maker! 💝💃🥳
High Quality Vanilla - excellent customer service.
Slo Food group team takes great care of their customers. Received a broken bottle of Vanilla and it was immediately handled. Received my replacement bottle within 3 days.
This extract is used to make our Tahitian Vanilla Cakes!

Shimmer Gold Luster Dust vs. Gold Leaf
Facts About Our Shimmer Gold Luster Dust
How you apply luster dust changes the final look. For a soft, subtle shimmer, dust it on dry using a clean, soft brush, ideal for fondant, gum paste, and firm surfaces. For a bolder, more intense metallic finish, mix a small amount of luster dust with a few drops of clear alcohol (like vodka) or lemon extract to create a paintable mixture, then apply with a fine brush. Working with chocolate specifically? Skip the alcohol and mix with a small amount of neutral oil instead, since chocolate's fat content doesn't pair well with alcohol-based mixtures. Whichever method you choose, a little goes a long way, start light and build up, since too much can look muddy rather than shimmery.
Not sure which gold decoration is right for your project? Luster dust is a pigment-based powder that creates a soft, shimmery glow, an affordable, versatile option that works beautifully across cakes, candies, and drinks. Edible gold leaf, on the other hand, is genuine 22-24 karat gold, delivering a bold, mirror-like shine that luster dust can't replicate. For everyday decorating and subtle sparkle, luster dust is the practical choice; for a showstopping, luxury finish, real gold leaf is worth the splurge.
Made from FDA-compliant pearl pigments and approved color carriers, our shimmer gold luster dust powder meets U.S. FDA CFR 21 Part 73, 74 & GRAS definitions. It's kosher certified by EarthKosher (email us if you'd like to view certification), produced using GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices), and suitable for vegan and vegetarian diets, no animal products are used in this product.
Recommended usage in food for this food-grade pearl pigment is 0.1%-1.25% by weight in cereals, confections and frostings, gelatin desserts, hard and soft candies (including lozenges), nutritional supplement tablets and gelatin capsules, and chewing gum. Shimmer gold luster dust powder can also be used in beverages that meet the CFR Title 21 definition, up to 0.07 percent by weight.

Ways to Use Shimmer Gold Luster Dust
A little brush of shimmer gold can transform an ordinary bake into something special. Dust it dry over the edges of macarons or the ridges of a fondant-covered cake for a subtle, elegant highlight. Mix it into a paint for hand-lettering "Congratulations" or "Happy Anniversary" directly onto a cake or cookie. Brush it lightly over chocolate truffles or bonbons for a luxe, boutique finish, or rim a cocktail or mocktail glass with a touch of dust for a celebratory drink that photographs beautifully. It's also a favorite for wedding cakes, New Year's Eve desserts, and any dessert table that calls for a little extra glamour.
